Scanning a Linux Subnet

Just like Windows device scans, Linux device scans can be run once or scheduled to occur on a regular basis. Also, just like Windows devices, Linux devices can be targeted from Active Directory, via a manually created rescan file or one downloaded from the Movere website, individually by name, or by IP address. Finally, Linux devices can also be targeted by subnet:

When targeting by subnet we recommend using a subnet calculator (e.g. http://www.subnet-calculator.com) to determine the number of IP addresses being targeted as 10.0.0.0/20 will target 254 IP addresses while 10.0.0.0/16 will target over 65K IP addresses:
